Reviews:"A fun read with the right amount of gruesome to fit in with the classic fairy tale genre." - P. Mellor"An engaging read. Alex Schiffer does a great job of bringing this dark story to life in a way that intrigues and comes off the page." - Graeme Brown"I say it is perfect to read around Halloween, or any occasion where you want to share a little fright with children who do not scare too easily." - Chantal Bellehumeur
